An estimated 60,000 to 90,000
Mostly women accused of witchcraft
Tortured into false confessions
Slaughtered with wanton impunity
In the 150 years of the Burning Times
Insane decades, rife with superstitions
High Times for cold blooded psychopaths
Ecstasies of inflicting unimaginable pain
Mostly on hysterical unfortunate women
Who never dreamed they’d be victims
Lived normal peaceful lives unaware
Holy Hell coming into their worlds
Snarling men backed by the times
Bloodthirsty, heartless, infinity cruel
Under the cover of misused religion
Demons masquerading as men
Bob Boyd
